Importing journal entries and applying to a customer

Posted on by 16
Hello,
i have a configuration package set up to import journal entries from another software after manipulating it in SharePoint. 
 
The customers have loans so I don’t want to create invoices and apply payments to them. 
 
Which field do i have to add to the config package to apply the line to their accounts when using AR or finance receivable GL account on that line.
 
Is it Account Id? Customer Id?
 
Any help appreciated 
Thanks,
Cedric

    If the Account Type is Customer, Customer Ledger Entries will be automatically created. Since you are not going to create an Invoice, it will remain in the system and cannot be applied, so I vote for Account Id.
    I hope other experts can give you better suggestions.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
     
    you should use document type: payment, account type: customer (need to have assigned customer posting group), and account no. (it's a customer no.). Also, make sure that other mandatory data is provided within the configuration package.
    The result is two GL entries, one assigned receivables account on the customer's posting group, and the other is balance acc. no. (usually bank ACC.) one customer ledger entry and one bank acc ledger entry if you used bank acc as bal. acc. in the journal line.
